chore: sync maintainer metadata with the organisation

[Andrei Kvapil (kvaps)]

What this PR does

Two drifts between this repository's metadata and the organisation it describes.

CODEOWNERS named George Gaál (@gecube) and Nikita (@nbykov0), who are no longer maintainers, and omitted IvanHunters, Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) and myasnikovdaniil, who are. It is now the current roster from maintainers.yaml.

A CODEOWNERS entry is only honoured for principals with write access, and this repository had no team attached — so five of the eight handles resolved to the organisation's base read permission and were silently ignored, and one (Nikita (@nbykov0)) was not a collaborator at all. Only three of the eight actually routed. The maintainers team has since been granted push here, so the list now does what it looks like it does.

maintainers.yaml declared the team as project-maintainers. No such team exists in the organisation; the team is maintainers. Since this file exists to mirror the roster for drift detection, it has to name the team that is really there.

The roster itself (9 maintainers, 3 reviewers) was already correct and is unchanged.

Note that cncf/foundation#1489, which updates project-maintainers.csv on the CNCF side, is still open — this PR does not close that loop.
